Grelko Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's about DAMN time I finally got back heavy into car audio, it's been over 10 years and I forgot how much fun it is. I'll get some pics up eventually. April Got my dual exhaust put back on with Thrush mufflers, nice and loud. STILL don't know wtf is up with my E-brake... replaced springs, lines etc earlier this year May/June Installed Proform Chevy 14" black crinkle air filter kit. Looks like an oasis in a desert of dirt and grease till I get some time to clean up the engine. Got two new back tires. Slowly patching up holes in frame Started this new project around July 17th 2011 Actually spent a couple hours and washed the van. Ripped out the old walls and ceiling. Tossed out the mattress. Dropped the bed frame to about one foot off the floor and added more legs to bed frame. The couch is staying New fuel filter, seafoam in tank, another bottle waiting till I get under the hood for vac lines and oil. Sanded rims to almost bare metal, getting ready to primer/paint, should have just gotten new rims. Sanded interior ceiling will spray with rustoleum after a bit more work, found 2 leaks FIXED Built 2x4 frame ontop of old bed frame for sub box weight support, will be toggle bolted to metal ribs in the walls, and added extra supports under bed frame. Ripped out all interior lights, wires hanging for later use. Floor, sliding door, and back doors covered in 1/2 plywood Walls about 90% done with 1/4 plywood and Pink Panther insulation lol Progress slowed for a bit of bodywork, a new center support bearing in the driveshaft, new front brake pads, a trip to the store for more plywood for the ceiling and a couple 4x8 sheets of 3/4 MDF Man, this 90+ weather is bad, can't fit van in the garage and no AC, atleast I can work on it under the tree in front of the house, doesn't help too much, but better than in direct sunlight surrounded by all metal. Checking budget for enough bondo/filler/sandpaper etc, etc to cover a small town, and trying to find a good place, that's hopefully cheap in price to get some welding done... edit- Fixed a couple install dates Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it. Bought a 2000 Chevy S10, still using the same amp/subs. Headunit is XO Vision X538. It's 52x4w, has a dvd player, auto flip out 7" touch screen plus alot more and is a single din.

Grelko Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Center support bearing FIXED. Damn was that thing falling apart, didn't fix the problem with the van rattling though, seems to be either the ball joint or upper control arm "again", or possibly just need a new front driver's side tire, the tire looks pretty bad, so I'll get that first. I should probably try not to drive the van like I used to drive my old buick lol Noticed that the large rubber piece on the bottom of the transmission mount that was replaced not even two years ago is dry rotting and starting to crack...should replace that sometime later this year Got some 1/4 sanded plywood cut for the interior and another pound of wood screws. Stared at the 8" by 10" pretty much rusted through hole in the interior floor near the back driver's side wheel well.....AND the other 3" by 6" hole by the other back wheel well....where i can't put the floor back in at yet and, STILL searching for a decent price on some welding. Did some more sanding on a couple patched spots from last week Got really bored, turned the gain on my old amp up to max for about five minutes and watched the rust fall off a section of the back door frame while taking a smoke break lol Optimus XL-400w amp 2x 10s IMPP 400w 2x something or other in dash 2x 35w radioshack 8" full-range AcDelco factory radio "frankenstein'd from my dead buick" Dodge seats 1984 Chevy G30 full size 1-ton van "Rust Monster" Progress - around 15% primer/patching Sold the van in 2014, had it about 75% done, never did get the system in it.
